Kelli Mueller '16 Recruiting Profile

My name is Kelli Mueller and I'm eighteen years old.  I've been playing soccer my whole life and I would love to have the opportunity to play at the next level.  I want to attend a college where I can play at a competitive level, grow as a person, and one that also supports my career interests.  My freshman year in high school I started as center back on the JV team and also played some on the varsity squad.  I was captain of the JV team my sophomore season, starting at center back and we went undefeated.  I was playing on the varsity squad as well and halfway through the season, earned a starting spot at outside back.  Over the summer between my sophomore and junior years, I played on a U18 independent, travel team where I started as center back all season.  We participated in 6 competitive tournaments across Illinois, Iowa and the Chicago area, winning three tournaments with a record of 15-4-2.  My Junior season recently ended with a conference championship followed by a close loss in the regional championship match.  I was selected for 'all-conference'.   
My grades are also very important to me.  I've been on high honor roll multiple times, I take at least 2 honors classes per year and I have a GPA of 4.6.  A huge honor for me was being inducted into the National Honor Society.  I love to challenge myself in both sports and academics and I will give everything to achieve my goals.  My family and my faith have been instrumental in my development as a person and as a soccer player and I rely on the strength of my faith to accomplish my goals and be as competitive as possible on the soccer field.
